We have something similar and we had a slightly different problem. We'd be drawing all sorts of elaborate and fancy sh*t on the boards and it would all be gone the next day. At first we thought there was an idiot prankster but it turns out the cleaners had been told to wipe them down by their manager. So now we have to have signs that say "DO NOT ERASE". 
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

My rule of thumb: at the end of the day, take a picture.
Since conference rooms are used by many groups, do not assume that what I put on there will be there when I get back, and, unless the room is specifically and exclusively assigned to my group, putting a "Do Not Erase" or "Please Leave On" is just more for someone else to wipe off.
After all, if someone else is using the room, they may need access to the white board as well.

All fair points (we do take pictures - gotta love smart phones) but it is our team room and everyone in the building now knows what "DO NOT ERASE" means!
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

Then... they need to leave the board alone.

When I started secondary school, there was a blackboard with a chalk map of Vietnam and surrounding countries on it with 'Do not erase' written on it. I do not know how long it had been there, but it was still there when I left several years later because no one was brave enough to erase it in case it was still needed. I wonder if (many years later) it is still there.

Whiteboards SHOULD be cleaned regularly. That's when they are useful.
At my workplace we have four large whiteboards in a single room but no space "left" to write on! In my opinion that isn't how you are supposed to use whiteboards...
Write. Record. Erase (The three Rs)
|
|
|
|
|
Fair enough but sometimes there are long running conversations where it makes sense to preserve and extend the whiteboard text rather than having to recreate it each time.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

We have some portable white boards that came from the old office, they still have drawings on them from well before they were moved. One drawing in particular was the, at the time, new desk systems that were going to be installed. Three stations in a pod all facing each other. The desks didn't follow us in the move. Wish they had.

Whiteboards are a remarkable invention though.

Working from home, had ABBA playing in the background.
Very relaxing.

Are you sure its ABBA playing or your mind going "Money Money Money"...?

Nope.. it was ABBA; tomorrow will be something different. Maybe Alannah Myles.

Good one

Did you know that the KLF had to withdraw an album after a legal showdown with ABBA, it's quite some time ago, but I recently saw a documentary about it. The KLF - Wikipedia[^]
They're mystified and they're ancient

|
|
And they're the "inventors" of the chill out genre

And they drive an ice-cream van

Didn't know that... just enjoy the music.

ABBA was yesterday's music, today.. maybe Alannah Myles or Stampeder or The Guess Who
Who can identify the theme of the last 3?
|
|
|
|
|
No clue... but I am curious a bit what it is ??

All based out of Canada.
Alannah Myles - awesome voice; 80's and 90's style; I know you can find her on YouTube - listen to "I'm Bad For You" - great song! As is "Black Velvet".
Stampeders - '70s rock, sort of like BTO.
The Guess Who - '70s rock - think 'American Woman'

I should think of that ... and in this case, I would add:
Threat Signal, Resurgence, Flying Horses, Kobra and the Lotus (?)
- all extraordinary performances, for example the vocals
of Threat Signal on "Under reprisal" or "Vigilance"
Flying Horses is different of course ...
